Montex stenters have earned their leading position in the technical textiles market due to their overall robustness, reliability and economy. Technical textiles are a key pillar of Montex’s production program. Polyester warp knits, as well as woven materials, are also continuously pre-treated and finished on Montex stenters by leading Tier I suppliers of seating materials to the automotive industry.
Diverse end-products can be successfully finished on Montex stenters as well as with Montex coating units. Recent Monforts Montex stenter installations in Europe, for example, are dedicated to the production of wide-width digital printing substrates, to high volume automotive fabrics and to heavy duty filter media, to name just three advanced technical materials. Three Montex stenters have just been installed at the plant of a leading finisher of substrates for digital printing substrates in Germany – two of them in extra-wide widths of 5.4 meters – for drying after both washing and coating processes.
The ability to thermally-set PTFE fabrics without oil greasing in the stenter chain and in the width adjustment is meanwhile particularly appreciated by manufacturers of filter media using Montex stenters. This protects workers and the environment from harmful oil vapors and keeps the filter material clean. The emphasis for these manufacturers is not just on quality standards but also on precise control and guaranteed reproducibility.
